Chapter 215, Mom’s plan
After chatting with Lambert Hodgson, when heretical demon hunters began to recruit and prepare for training, Gu Hang received a special gift.
That was brought by a spaceship.
The Talon Tiger first intercepted the spacecraft briefly, and then reported the news to Gu Hang.
Knowing that the spaceship came from the Gu family, Gu Hang thought for a moment and let people in.
It was a small spaceship, probably barely able to meet the standards for interstellar navigation.
After letting the person in, he saw the person not long after.
Still an acquaintance.
The visitor's name was Zhang Shicheng, a 'retainer' of the Gu family. Ever since Gu Hang could remember, he had been serving the Gu family - or his mother.
In Gu Hang's impression, Zhang Shicheng didn't have any special abilities, and it was difficult for him to be independent in certain things, but he only had one good thing: he was kind, reliable, and loyal.
It is worth mentioning that the only follower who followed Gu Hang to Angry Owl Star was Zhang Shicheng's son.
Now, the two of them can be regarded as father and son reunited.
However, before going to see his son, Zhang Shicheng still took care of business first.
In front of Gu Hang, he said respectfully: "Master Hang, there are a hundred people coming with me on the boat this time. My mistress is worried that you live in a remote and remote place and there is no one to help you. Let us work together to help you." Some are busy. They are all new recruits to the family. Top students who have graduated from various higher education institutions on Feiyi Star have signed long-term work agreements with the family. In short, if you need us, we can arrange them."
In front of Zhang Shicheng, Gu Hang said nothing.
But in fact, what he was thinking was:
Now I think I have no one to use it? What did you do earlier?
It's not like he's useless now.
Even if there was really no one available, he didn't want to use a bunch of people from the Gu family who didn't know anything about it.
I'm afraid that without using it, all kinds of information about the Angry Owl Star Alliance would be transmitted to the sky inexplicably.
Of course, Gu Hang was not so scared that he had to be on guard.
He just thought about it for a moment, and he planned to hand over the group of people Zhang Shicheng brought to Osena.
Oceana has been crazy busy recently, and she really needs the help of more knowledgeable people.
However, it is impossible to expose them to very important and core work content.
Go to the mountains and countryside.
Zhang Shicheng also maintained a cautious attitude and did not say anything to these people.
The people have brought it, and Young Master Hang can use it as he wishes, or throw it all away to work in the mines as coolies.
After handing over this group of people, Zhang Shicheng mentioned the second important matter.
He called for people and brought out several large boxes from the spaceship.
"This is an astrology communication tower. Our people here can assemble it." Zhang Shicheng said, "With the help of astropaths, we can use directional frequency modulation to communicate with other astrology towers. The mistress said, Master Hang, you are here It’s like an isolated island with no connection to the outside world. This thing is here to help you.”
Compared to the hundred young men and young girls before, what this Star Chat Tower brought to Gu Hang was pure surprise.
If you want to communicate on an interstellar scale, conventional means will not work. The physical distance between the angry owl star and the flying wing star, the capital of the Pegasus star region, is so many light years that it is impossible to communicate normally.
Only by sending astrological messages, and also communicating through astral tunnels, can cross-star communication become feasible.
But this thing is also an out-and-out high-tech product, at least Gu Hang has never been able to extract it.
With it, Gu Hang no longer has to send any information through the Imperial Navy in the sky.
That way there would be no secrets.
As for astrological communication, which requires an astropath to operate, this is not a big problem.
The term Astropath refers to a type of psychic who has mastered special skills. It belongs to a 'profession' rather than requiring any special abilities.
Theoretically, if Gu Hang really doesn't have a suitable astropath under his command, he can learn the relevant techniques by himself.
For a LV5 level psyker like him, it shouldn't be difficult.
However, even for this, he didn't need to do it himself, his mother had thought of it for him.
There is an Astropath on board.
What else could Gu Hang say?
He also understands the meaning of this.
Helping build interstellar communication capabilities is certainly one way of saying it.
But... my mother gave her son a mobile phone and a calling card. What was that for?
Gu Hang understands.
He was a little confused at first, but then he figured it out: don't worry about being recognized or anything.
First of all, my cousin didn't recognize her; secondly, our relationship wasn't very good. Gu Hang had been thinking of running away from home, but after going out for some training, his temperament changed drastically. Is there anything you can't understand?
If you love it, accept it; if you don’t, you will be pushed away.
As for why this call was made... Gu's is the largest chamber of commerce organization in the Tianma Sector, and its influence can even expand to multiple external sectors.
He is also a direct descendant of the family.
If we don't take advantage of this relationship, it will be in vain.
He doesn't have any psychological mysophobia, so he must completely cut off the relationship with his predecessor's family, and there must be no interaction at all.
Just come as normal.
……
The construction of the Star Tower was very fast, and it was not big. It was just a metal hollow tower about four meters high. The most important thing was actually the complex psychic device below.
Gu Hang simply placed this thing on the top rooftop of the Governor's Building that he converted from the old Alliance Parliament Building.
After connecting a communication line, his office can directly communicate with the interstellar.
The astropath has a rest room in the building. When Gu Hang is in need, he will go to the top floor to work.
He did make this first interstellar phone call to his mother.
After waiting for about a minute, the communication was connected.
However, unlike what he expected when my mother would appear in their Feiyingxing mansion, Ms. Wang Qi was wearing a formal dress at the moment, and the environment she was in seemed to be in a starship.
"...Mother." Gu Hang called.
He thought that calling a 'stranger' his mother would make it difficult for him to speak.
As a result, the sound came out very smoothly.
Perhaps, the potential influence of its predecessor still exists.
Ms. Wang Qi, who was wearing a uniform that was similar to a dark blue military uniform but different, with her long hair rolled up into a bun at the back, had a serious look on her face, just like the stern look in Gu Hang's memory. She said: "Xiaohang, what's the matter?"
Gu Hang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said calmly: "Nothing, just thank you. Uncle Shi Cheng and his people are here, and the Star Communication Tower has been built. Let me tell you."
"Okay, I get it."
"Yeah."
The two began to fall into a rather awkward silence.
Gu Hang's thoughts couldn't help but drift a little far away at this time.
In the memory of his predecessor, after he grew up a lot, his communication with his mother seemed to always be like this.
Either they were relatively speechless, or they were quarreling.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Hang chuckled.
Ms. Wang Qi, who was opposite, was a little stunned when she saw her son's relieved, calm and free smile.
She hadn't seen her son smile in front of her for a long time.
It felt like my heart had been hit by some kind of special weapon.
But she quickly calmed down her expression.
Gu Hang started the topic: "Where are you now?"
"On the way to Black Arrow Star."
"Going to Black Arrow Star?" Gu Hang frowned and quickly remembered something, "The family meeting that is held every six years is going to be held again, right?"
"Yes." Wang Qi nodded, then thought of something, and added an explanation: "I didn't invite you, it was my decision. Don't mind, you are not suitable to participate now."
"I know." Gu Hang nodded first, and then asked: "Will Uncle Ming continue to be elected this time?"
The 'Uncle Ming' he refers to is his father's cousin and the current head of the Gu family.
Hearing this question, Wang Qi showed a strange smile, which seemed a little disdainful and a little nervous, but in the end it turned into a calm smile: "You will know in a few months."
Gu Hang was not the stupid boy from his predecessor, he felt something keenly.
"Mother? Do you want to do something?"
"You don't need to know, let's wait until the time comes." Wang Qi showed her usual domineering attitude towards her son at this time.
But Gu Hang will not quit, nor will he spoil his mother.
"I have to tell you." Gu Hang said, "If you make any moves, please be sure to let me know. No matter what the actual situation is, in the eyes of the outside world, especially within the family, we are one."< br>
"Ha..." Wang Qi laughed habitually and contemptuously, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Gu Hang.
She only saw her son on the screen slowly standing up and telling her seriously and seriously: "Everything in Wrath Star is moving steadily upward. The potential here is endless. In my opinion, the value is greater than that of the entire Gu family." , I don’t want Gu’s changes to interfere with my development plan for Angry Star.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? How does your broken planet with an annual tax amount of five million tax coins compare with the entire Gu family? Xiaohang, have you made some achievements and then drifted away? You don't know your last name anymore. ? Gu's Trading Company, one of the fourteen largest caravans, is worth a lot more than your planet!"
Gu Hang didn't want to bring the topic into an argument.
He calmed down, changed his mind and said, "Maybe you don't know, I estimate that this year, there will be an output value of 34 million tax coins. In addition to paying taxes and the consumption of local residents, my planet has a The annual output value that can be used is at least 10 million tax dollars, and by next year, I am sure to double this number.”
"Do you have any idea? Mother?"
"This has reached the income of a family caravan."
"And how much does it cost to build a family caravan? The price of the five armed merchant ships of the Beautiful Girl's Caravan is at least one billion tax coins, but the annual profit is only 20 to 30 million tax coins at most. A caravan also has Is there room for further growth? My planet does. With the growth of population, the recovery of productivity, and the spread of interstellar trade, the profits produced here will increase significantly."
"Why can the Falchers family in the Pegasus sector look down on the leaders of the sector and ignore the Navy family? Because they have three growing planets, and they are the largest sponsors of the Astra Militarum forces in the Pegasus sector. , this is their confidence.”
"And I will be able to build the Raging Owl Planet into a place no worse than the three planets of Falches. Do you want to interrupt my path?"
Wang Qi was silent.
After a while, she said: "My son, of course I will not block your way. On the contrary, as long as what I want to do is successful, your road will be extremely smooth."
"What about failure?"
"It won't fail."
Gu Hang smiled: "Is there any plan in this world that will never fail? Even the God Emperor can't do it."
"Be careful!"
"It's just the truth." Gu Hang said, "So, can you tell me now what exactly you are going to do?"
Wang Qi struggled for a moment, and finally sighed because of her son's performance.
I really can’t treat my son as a child anymore.
"You should know..."
Then, she roughly expressed her thoughts.
There is no specific planning or implementation plan involved, just the idea: Wang Qi wants to seek the status of the head of the Gu family.
Wang Qi cannot sit in this position herself. If she succeeds, the person who will take this position will be Gu Hang.
She had been planning this for many years, and she had sworn that she would get back everything her husband had thrown away.
The so-called 'lost thing' was undoubtedly the fact that it should have fallen into the hands of her husband, but due to an accident, it became Gu Ming's position as the head of the family.
Although the Gu family is quite interested in joining the franchise, the head of the family cannot be sure of what he says. Especially in recent years, after Gu Hang's grandfather passed away and his cousin Gu Ming took charge, this situation of separation has become even more serious. Gu Ming's prestige within the family is far less profound than that of the old family leader.
After Wang Qi took over the business, relying on her superb skills, she now directly controls four of the fourteen largest caravans of the Gu family; the other four are her 'allies', more than half of them. She can also exert some influence on the remaining six caravans.
A family meeting is held every six years to elect a new head of the family. Now that she is in such a situation, of course she can fight for the position of head of the family.
Her original plan was for Gu Hang to be the head of the family. But in her mind, Gu Hang was a little loser in the past. She originally wanted to take care of things by herself and listen to politics behind the scenes for a few years.
When Gu Hang grows up, all the business will be handed over to him.
Of course, it's possible that Gu Hang can't grow up, and that doesn't matter.
She would ask Gu Hang to have more cubs, then create a new account, raise a grandson, and then find a real successor.
And the fact that Gu Hang became the planetary governor before getting married and having children caused a big problem in her plan.
Those allies began to question whether the plan could be implemented.
In this sense, Gu Hang's predecessor actually didn't have to worry too much about his own safety.
There was no way his mother would let him die.
But Wang Qi had planned in the past that she would pay for the first installment of the imperial tax, and then find a way to remove Gu Hang from the position of planetary governor, and then get her plan back on track. .
However, something unexpected happened. Over the past year, Gu Hang had secured his position as planetary governor, and now it was no longer a problem to pay imperial taxes. And it looks like Raging Owl is still going strong.
This is an unexpected surprise.
